6. Question Regarding Nursing Education

   clyen replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't heard of this, other than accredidation from school to school. Once you pass the NCLEX, there should be no problems. Have you passed the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN? For example, I graduated...
